WARNING
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL INSTALL THIS SHOWER
ENCLOSURE AND INCLUDE THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO INSTALL THE DOOR UNIT.
!
INSTALLATION OF THE SHOWER DOORS BY AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON MAY RESULT IN GLASS
BREAKAGE AND, CONSEQUENTLY, CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
- Handle fragile items with care to prevent personal injury or material damage.
- The glass panels are tempered and cannot be cut. Never attempt to do so.
- Always rest glass on a level surface
BEFORE STARTING
Compare items on your invoice with what you have received. Carefully review the Packing List on page 2. If
any items are missing contact Vigo Industries at 1-866-591-7792. Please check our website at
www.vigoindustries.com for additional information or instructional videos.
REQUIRED TOOLS
Square and/or Phillips #1 and #2 screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
Electric drill plus 1/32", 3/32", 1/8" and 1/4" drill bit (depending on wall)
Level
Measuring tape
Pencil (non-permanent)
Clear silicone caulking
Utility knife
Shims (not provided)
IMPORTANT:
THE CLEAR GLASS MODEL HAS A REVERSIBLE DOOR AND CAN BE INSTALLED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE.
(SEE CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM BELOW)
IMPORTANT
Fiberglass, acrylic or sheetrock construction might not be sufficiently strong enough to support the
shower door enclosure. You should use the wood framing studs from behind the face edge of the stall to
provide a secure mounting to the door. Apply a bead of silicone between the walls and base of the stall.
For optimum performance, you should install the shower door perfectly level on a level surface. Failure to
do so will lead to water leakage and potential property damage.
When installing use heavy duty gloves.

IMPORTANT
Verify that the overall size of the shower door opening is appropriate for the shower enclosure.
Due to individual site variations, exact guidelines for every situation cannot be supplied. The
recommended framing and dimensional requirements are shown for a typical application and
may vary depending on the site requirements.
To prevent damage to the finish, you should protect the shower cabin bottom with a cardboard
protector before beginning the installation.
Properly apply silicone to the wall and base joints.
Make sure to read corresponding base instructions carefully prior to install on the Vigo Brand
Shower Door System. Failure to do so can cause water leakage and bodily harm.
Ensure that there is sufficient structural support behind the shower wall to hold the weight of the
shower door. If there is insufficient enough support, then reinforce the shower walls with wooden
studs prior to shower door installation. [SEE FIG. 1]

A. INSTALLING THE SIDE GLASS PANEL
1. Arrange the side glass panel (#10) to the
preferred configuration to determine the
orientation of glass supports (#3). Clean
the side glass panel (#10) edge where the
side seal strip (#4) is to be installed with
rubbing alcohol. Install the side seal strip
(#4) to the wall side of the side glass panel.
2. Screw in the glass supports (#3) with the
hex key to the side glass panel (#10). Be
sure to use washers on both sides of the
panel.
3. Mark holes on the wall for the mounting
screws after leveling panel.

the holes. Not necessary if installing
into studs. Studs are the preferred
means of installation, anchors can pull
out of the wall causing property damage
and bodily harm. There is a 15mm
adjustment built into the glass supports
for minor modifications.
5. Replace the side glass panel (#10). Screw
into the wall with 1

B. INSTALLING THE HINGE
Clean the glass surface on the side glass panel
(#10) where the hinges (#7) are to be installed
with rubbing alcohol. Place gaskets on each side
of the side glass panel (#10). Position hinges on
the side glass panel (#10) as shown. Place a
shim(s) as needed between the glass and the
hinge on the bottom. The metal should not rest on
the glass. There is a 1 inch horizontal
adjustment built into the hinges for minor
modifications.

DOOR PANEL INSTALLATION REQUIRES TWO
OR MORE PEOPLE TO ASSIST
C. INSTALLING THE DOOR
1. Clean the door panel (#14) edge where the
door side seal strip (#5) is to be installed with
rubbing alcohol. Verify that the soft flange of
the seal strip faces toward the inside of the
shower cabin before seal strip installation.
Install the seal strip according to the diagram.
NOTES:
1. If the seal strip is not flat and is twisted, soak
the strip in hot water and press the seal strip
back into position.
2. Part #5 is reversible and pre-cut on top and
bottom to fit in proper configuration.
Cutting/finishing is needed but only after
fully installing and only at the top of the unit.
2. Place the door on a 5/8" shim (not provided).
Install the top hinge first for safety and ease
of install. Position the door onto the hinges.
Hold securely in place using shims. The seal
(#5) may get stuck between the two panels of
glass. Pull the seal out of the groove using
your fingers and nothing sharp, making sure
not to damage the seal. Tighten allen key
screws. Install the hinges as illustrated. Use
the hex key supplied. Adjust hinge so the
gaps are equal at top and bottom and pull
door panel away from side glass panel (#10)
to allow the door to swing freely without
crimping seal strip (#5).

3. Lift door panel to be level with hinge panel.
Use PVC shims provided to hold firmly in
place. NOTE - PVC shims prevent the
door from sagging due to gravity and
the weight of the door. Never install
without shims, this can cause the glass to
break causing property damage and
bodily harm.
4. Make sure the door is level from the end.
If the door is not level, adjust the hinge
positions until the door is level. This being
level is imperative to the installation and will
guarantee a tight seal.

5. Clean the door (#14) glass surfaces where
the magnetic seal strip (#8) is to be
installed with rubbing alcohol. Place the
magnetic seal strip (#8) to the door panel.
The magnetic side should be facing the
inside and the clear side be facing the
outside. Do not install the handle first,
this is dangerous and may cause the
glass to break. The door magnetic seal
strip (#8) is reversible and will need to be
cut at top for best aesthetic approach.

1. Clean the vertical rail (#20) with rubbing
alcohol. Place the magnetic seal strip (#8)
on the vertical rail (#20). The magnetic
side should be facing the outside and the
clear side be facing the inside. The door
magnetic seal strip (#8) is reversible and

the door bottom side seal strip (#11) is to be
installed with rubbing alcohol. Verify that the
soft flange of the seal strip faces toward the
inside of the shower cabin before seal strip
installation. Install the seal strip according to
the diagram.
NOTES:
1. If the seal strip is not flat, use a hair dryer to
apply minimal heat and press the seal strip back
into position.
2. Adjust the magnetic seal strip (#8) and the door
side seal strip (#5) to the correct height over the
door bottom seal strip (#11) and cut to the needed
height at the top of the panel.
I. INSTALLING COVERS
